Electric parking and braking ECU 18 is also via communication bus 24 and various ECU sensors (referred to as " other of such as CAN ECU elements ") connection.Other ECU elements 26 are included for exporting on the Current Temperatures generated in vehicle (for example, motor 14 Temperature) information sensor (26a), the biography of information for exporting the current hill grade on vehicle in the longitudinal direction Sensor (26b) and the sensing for exporting the information on the oil pressure being currently generated in the braking oil pressure Force system of vehicle Device (26c).Based on via signal of the communication bus 24 from other ECU elements 26, electric parking and braking ECU 18 is indicated The information of the various states being currently generated on vehicle;Subsequently, based on the system that the information for being obtained, calculating will be generated by motor 14 Power and the control targe electric current to be circulated in for the motor 14 for generating brake force;And the driving of controlled motor 14, So that generation brake force.
System 12 includes constituting the body 30 of wheel cylinder.Body 30 is formed as the cylinder with cavity, and is configured to Allow that brake fluid pressure is introduced into cavity.In the cavity of body 30, comprising rotary shaft 32, power transmission shaft 34 and piston 36.
Rotary shaft 32 is the rod-shaped member for extending.One end of rotary shaft 32 is inserted in an end surface of body 30 In the patchhole 38 of upper formation and by its rotating support.At patchhole 38, bearing 40 is set with supporting rotating shaft 32, and And the containment member 42 of such as O-ring is also set to prevent the brake fluid pressure in the cavity in body 30 from being let out by patchhole 38 Drain to outside.Rotary shaft 32 is inserted into patchhole 38, and supports to rotate by bearing 40.
Spur gear 44 is connected to the end of rotary shaft 32.Spur gear 44 is engaged with spur gear 46.Spur gear 44 and 46 that This is rotated by predetermined speed ratio.Spur gear 46 is connected with the output shaft of motor 14.The spur gear 46 when motor 14 is driven in rotation Rotation.When motor is driven in rotation, when spur gear 44 and 46 rotates, above-mentioned rotary shaft 32 rotates.Furthermore, in rotary shaft 32 Another end outer surface on, form external screw thread groove 48.
Power transmission shaft 34 is formed as the cylindrical component wherein with cavity.Power transmission shaft 34 is formed cylinder Or Polygonal column shape so that even if rotary shaft 32 rotates, power transmission shaft 34 is also not configured to be revolved around the pivot of rotary shaft 32 Turn.At the end surface of power transmission shaft 34, patchhole 50 is formed.In the interior surface of patchhole 50, internal thread groove 52 is formed. Rotary shaft 32 is inserted into patchhole 50, and the external screw thread groove 48 of rotary shaft 32 is screwed with the internal thread groove 52 of body 30 Together.The other end of rotary shaft 32 can be protruded into the cavity in power transmission shaft 34.
When rotary shaft 32 is rotated by the occlusion of external screw thread groove 48 and internal thread groove 52, rotary shaft 32 and power transmission shaft 34 Shift relative to each other in axial direction.That is, when rotary shaft 32 is rotated by the rotation driving of motor 14, external screw thread groove 48 and the occlusion of internal thread groove 52 prevent power transmission shaft 34 from rotating, and the revolving force of rotary shaft 32 is converted into and power transmission shaft 34 is existed The power shifted on direction of principal axis, the power makes power transmission shaft 34 shift in axial direction.Furthermore, when the rotation driving of motor 14 stops, The rotation of rotary shaft 32 stops, and the displacement in axial direction of power transmission shaft 34 stops, and power transmission shaft 34 passes through the He of external screw thread groove 48 The occlusion of internal thread groove 52 and the frictional force that generates is maintained at stop position.
Piston 36 is formed as the component of cylinder or Polygonal column shape, and is configured to surround the outer of power transmission shaft 34 Week.In the cylinder of piston 36, power transmission shaft 34 is inserted, wherein power transmission shaft 34 can be shifted in axial direction.In one end of piston 36 (left end in Fig. 2) place, sets bottom 54 to close the column part of inner circumferential.Bottom 54 can be the one end with power transmission shaft 34 The part of (left end in Fig. 2) contact.Furthermore, piston 36 is formed so that its outer wall surface contacts the inwall table of body 30 Face.In the inwall of body 30, set containment member 56 to prevent the brake fluid pressure in the cavity in body 30 from passing through piston 36 Outer wall surface and the inner wall surface of body 30 between spatial leaks to outside.
It is living when the bottom 54 of piston 36 is pressed towards one end of power transmission shaft 34 by the displacement in axial direction of power transmission shaft 34 Plug 36 can be shifted relative to body 30 towards one end (in fig. 2 to the left) in axial direction.Furthermore, when brake fluid pressure is introduced into When in the cavity in body 30, piston 36 can be with power transmission shaft 34 independently in axial direction relative to body 30 towards one end (in fig. 2 to the left) displacement.That is, piston 36 can be by both the pressure of power transmission shaft 34 and brake fluid pressure in axial direction Shifted towards one end (in fig. 2 to the left) relative to body 30.
If before motor 14 is driven in rotation power transmission shaft 34 be in initial position in the state of brake fluid pressure not by It is introduced into the cavity in body 30, then piston 36 is shifted and negative in the elastic force by backspring (not shown) or cavity It is pressed at its other end and is maintained on the direction of principal axis in cavity (in fig. 2 to the right).Furthermore, even if being driven in rotation in motor 14 While power transmission shaft 34 in axial direction from initial position towards one end displacement after, in body 30 cavity in brake fluid Buckling is small, and the power transmission shaft 34 of displacement still limits piston 36 and shifted towards the other end in axial direction.
Brake block 58 is attached and is arranged on the end of piston 36.Brake block 58 is to be fixed on wheel in brake disc 59 The component contacted with the end surface of the brake disc 59 towards direction of principal axis in the case of upper, and rotated together with wheel.Pass through Two brake block 58 apply to brake to brake disc 59, and the two brake block 58 clamp brake disc 59 from both sides in axial direction.System Displacement of the motion block 58 together with piston 36 in axial direction on direction of principal axis (the left or right direction in Fig. 2) is moved, and is worked as The movement stops and keeps when the displacement of piston 36 stops.
When making operation is carried out by Operation switch 22 in system 12, electric parking and braking ECU18 receives the connection Operation performs lock-in control to generate brake force as the request to parking braking.Specifically, it is based on vehicle-state meter The brake force that calculation will be generated by motor 14, and send drive command to motor 14.When motor 14 is according to from electric parking system The drive command of dynamic ECU 18 is driven in when being rotated on a direction (direction), and spur gear 44 and rotary shaft 32 are in forward direction Rotation on direction together with spur gear 46 rotates.When rotary shaft 32 rotates in the forward direction, external screw thread groove 48 and interior The occlusion of thread groove 52 makes power transmission shaft 34 be shifted towards one end in axial direction.
Displacement of the power transmission shaft 34 in axial direction towards one end causes that power transmission shaft 34 is contacted with the bottom 54 of piston 36, and Then, when power transmission shaft 34 is further shifted towards the one end in axial direction, power transmission shaft 34 presses the bottom 54 of piston 36, and And piston 36 is shifted towards the one end in axial direction.Then, displacement continues on the direction of principal axis of power transmission shaft 34 towards the one end, Until the brake block 58 of the end of piston 36 contacts brake disc 59, and then, brake block 58 contacts brake disc 59 to generate Brake force.
When brake block 58 contacts brake disc 59 to generate brake force, the load acted on motor 14 increases, and because This, the electric current of consumption increases.After lock-in control is started, electric parking and braking ECU 18 is detected in positive power terminal (power supply Terminal) the electric current I that flows on power line and negative power terminal (terminal) between, wherein terminal is arranged for applying voltage Motor 14 is added to, and electric parking and braking ECU 18 determines whether detected electric current I reaches what is set according to vehicle-state Control targe electric current.Then, when electric current I reaches control targe electric current, recognize motor 14 and generate desired brake force, and And by stopping to the applied voltage of motor 14 and stop the rotation driving of motor 14 and complete lock-in control.Note, even if logical Cross the rotation driving of stopping motor 14 to complete lock-in control, power transmission shaft 34 remains at stop position to maintain brake force.
Furthermore, when operation is turned off by Operation switch 22, electric parking and braking ECU 18 receives the opening operation As the release asked parking braking, and perform the release control of generation for discharging brake force.Specifically, it is to electricity Machine 14 sends driving release command.When motor 14 drives release command to be driven in separately according to from electric parking and braking ECU 18 When being rotated on one direction (inverse direction), spur gear 44 and rotary shaft 32 together with spur gear 46 rotation in backward direction Rotation.When rotary shaft 32 rotates in backward direction, the occlusion of external screw thread groove 48 and internal thread groove 52 makes power transmission shaft 34 in axle Side is upwardly toward other end displacement.
When power transmission shaft 34 is shifted towards the other end in axial direction from the state of the contact brake disc 59 of brake block 58, it is allowed to Piston 36 is shifted towards the other end in axial direction, and this releases the contact between brake block 58 and brake disc 59, and because This, releases the generation of brake force.Note, in axial direction towards the displacement of the other end, i.e., motor 14 is anti-for power transmission shaft 34 It is performed to the rotation driving on direction, it is predetermined net until be ensure that between the bottom 54 of one end of power transmission shaft 34 and piston 36 It is empty.So, when headroom is guaranteed, electric parking and braking ECU 18 stops to the applied voltage of motor 14 to stop the anti-of motor 14 To rotation driving, and complete release control.
Furthermore, when stampede operation is performed on brake pedal in system 12, brake fluid pressure passes through according to stampede operation Pedal force is introduced into the cavity in body 30.When in the cavity that brake fluid pressure is introduced into body 30, brake fluid pressure makes work Plug 36 is moved towards one end in axial direction so that brake block 58 contacts brake disc 59 to generate brake force.
Incidentally, in system 12 in the present embodiment, when electric parking and braking ECU 18 determines to pass through Operation switch 22 carry out parking braking when asking, and it calculates the brake force to be generated by motor 14 according to vehicle-state, and be controlled with Motor 14 generates calculated brake force.Specifically, it applies predetermined voltage so that electric current is in motor 14 to motor 14 Flow and rotated for motor 14.
If the voltage needed for by applying to motor 14 is so that control targe electric current is circulated in motor 14, motor 14 Can be actuated to be rotated as asking, and system 12 can fully represent the parking performance of vehicle.On the other hand, If applied to the voltage of motor 14 is not up to required voltage, then the electric current for being circulated in motor 14 is not up to control targe electricity Stream, and motor 14 do not driven and rotated as being asked, and this may cause the system 12 can not fully to represent vehicle The situation of parking performance.
Specifically, the circuit electricity on for the power line between the power supply terminal to the applied voltage of motor 14 and ground terminal Resistance Possible waves.At this point, in the state of voltage is identical between power supply terminal and ground terminal, circuitous resistance is bigger, then Actually applied voltage just becomes lower between the main body two ends of motor 14.Therefore, according to the value of circuitous resistance, Ke Nengcun The situation of the brake force needed for motor can not generate parking by normal control.
Then, in system 12 in the present embodiment, suitably flowed in motor 14 by making control targe electric current, i.e., Just the circuitous resistance on power line is quite big, and motor 14 still is able to the brake force needed for generating vehicle parking.Hereinafter, will join The characteristic in the present embodiment is described according to Fig. 3 to 5.
Fig. 3 illustrates the electric wiring plan of the electric parking brake system 12 according to the present embodiment.Fig. 4 is illustrated and driven The general view of consumption current waveform during motor in the electric parking brake system 12 according to the present embodiment.And Fig. 5 shows The flow chart of the example by the control routine performed according to the electric parking brake system 18 of the present embodiment is gone out.
In the present embodiment, when electric parking and braking ECU 18 determines to carry out parking braking request by Operation switch 22 When, its to the applied voltage of motor 14, and then, monitoring be taken as being applied to motor 14 it is voltage, for motor 14 The voltage V generated at two points on power line between the power supply terminal 60 and ground terminal 62 of applied voltagemonitor1With Vmonitor2, and detect the electric current I flowed on power line as circulating current.Note, for example, branch resistance can be based on Voltage between two terminals of (not shown) is assumed to perform the detection of circulating current, and the branch resistance is in the He of power supply terminal 60 (for example, the resistance r being described below between ground terminal 623And input terminal B between) power line on provide, and have Known resistance value.
As shown in Figure 3, on power line wherein at two points between monitoring power supply terminal 60 and ground terminal 62 Voltage is used as Vmonitor1And Vmonitor2Above-mentioned configuration in, at following point generate resistance:In power supply terminal 60 and electric parking Brake input terminal (specifically, the monitoring voltage V of ECU 18monitor1Terminal) resistance r between A1;In input terminal A and Resistance r between motor 142;In input terminal (specifically, the monitoring voltage of motor 14 and electric parking and braking ECU 18 Vmonitor2Terminal) resistance r between B3;And the resistance r between input terminal B and ground terminal 624.If resistance r1Extremely r4Resistance value more than be expected, then the voltage for being applied to two terminals of the main body of motor 14 is not reaching to desired value, and deposits The risk of the brake force needed for without generation vehicle parking.
With above conversely, in the present embodiment, carrying out parking braking request by Operation switch 22, and have started to After the applied voltage of motor 14, electric parking and braking ECU 18 performs following steps:(1) the resistance r on power line is calculated1To r4 (specifically, resistance r2And r3) value;(2) based on resistance r2And r3Value and generation vehicle parking needed for brake force Control targe electric current Itarget, needed for the rotation driving of the motor 14 for calculating brake force needed for for generating vehicle parking Voltage Vneed;(3) by required voltage VneedWith monitoring voltage Vmonitor1And Vmonitor2Between voltage difference (Vmonitor1- Vmonitor2) be compared;And (4) are based on comparative result, the driving of controlled motor 14.
Electric current (consumption electric current) I under no-load condition on the power line of flowing can be based on0And monitoring voltage it Between voltage difference (Vmonitor1-Vmonitor2) calculate the resistance r on power line2And r3, make without load under no-load condition With on motor 14.
Start applied voltage on motor 14 with after the rotation driving for starting motor 14, it is prominent with high current value Enter electric current and circulate (by the region A of dotted line in Fig. 4) in motor 14 as pulse.After inrush current is generated, and (especially, therefrom in power transmission shaft 34 untill making brake block 58 contact brake disc 59 by the rotation driving of motor 14 Between the bottom 54 of one end and piston 36 ensure that the state of predetermined headroom starts, until the end thereof contacts piston 36 of power transmission shaft 34 Untill bottom), the no-load condition essentially without load effect on motor 14 is formed, and therefore, disappearing on power line Power consumption stream is maintained at greater than or equal to zero almost fixed value (by the region of dotted line in Fig. 4 in special time length B).If at this point, voltage between two terminals that can be based on branch resistance detects disappearing under no-load condition Power consumption stream (no-load current) I0, then resistance r can be calculated2And r3Value.
Then, the state for wherein ensureing predetermined headroom between the bottom 54 of one end of power transmission shaft 34 and piston 36 is left, Brake block 58 contacts brake disc 59 (especially, the bottom 54 of the end thereof contacts piston 36 of power transmission shaft 34), and then, acts on Load on motor 14 gradually increases so that consumption electric current on power line and the value of load proportionally increase (quilt in Fig. 4 The region C of dotted line).
Electric parking and braking ECU 18 determines whether to carry out parking braking request based on the signal from Operation switch 22, and And if it is determined that carried out parking braking request, then start to apply a voltage to motor 14 to start lock-in control (step 100).
After lock-in control is started, electric parking and braking ECU 18 is based on the voltage between two terminals of branch resistance To detect the electric current I on power line to measure the waveform of detected electric current I, and based on current waveform, detection is prominent in generation Enter the no-load current I of the value for taking almost fixed after electric current0.As detection no-load current I0When, electric parking and braking ECU 18 also monitor the voltage V on power linemonitor1And Vmonitor2To calculate the voltage difference (V of these voltagesmonitor1-Vmonitor2).With Afterwards, based on no-load current I0With voltage difference (Vmonitor1-Vmonitor2), as in following formula (1), calculate in power supply terminal 60 And monitoring voltage V on the power line between ground terminal 62monitor1And Vmonitor2Two points between resistance (r2+r3) (step 102)。
(r2+r3)=(Vmonitor1-Vmonitor2)/I0…(1)
Next, based on the resistance (r for calculating2+r3), the control targe electric current of the brake force needed for generation vehicle parking ItargetAnd the known internal resistance R of motor 14act, the calculating generation vehicle parkings in following formula (2) of electric parking and braking ECU 18 The required voltage V between 2 points on power line needed for the rotation driving of the motor 14 of required brake forceneed(step 104)。
Vneed=Itarget×(R2+R3+Ract)…(2)
Then, the required voltage V that electric parking and braking ECU 18 will be calculatedneedWith the voltage V monitored on power linemonitor1 And Vmonitor2Between voltage difference be compared (step 106).As comparative result, if meeting Vneed≤(Vmonitor1- Vmonitor2), if meeting Vmonitor1≥Vmonitor2–Itarget×I0×Ract/(Itarget–I0), then currently to the electricity of motor 14 Pressure applying can keep constant, so that more than or equal to the control targe electricity of the brake force needed for for generating normal vehicle parking The electric current flowing of stream, and therefore, drive control (step 108) is normally performed to motor 14.
On the other hand, if meeting Vneed≥(Vmonitor1-Vmonitor2), if meeting Vmonitor1<Vmonitor2–Itarget ×I0×Ract/(Itarget–I0), then keep current voltage to apply to make to exist more than or equal to the electric current of control targe electric current Flowed in motor 14.Therefore, determine that the predetermined standby applied to the voltage of motor 14 controls whether to make greatly in next step In or equal to control targe electric current electric current flowing, to ensure the performance for the brake force needed for generating normal vehicle parking (step 110).
Note, standby controls to increase motor higher than the voltage for normal control by the voltage for being applied to motor 14 Electric current in 14, for example by making, the supply voltage between power supply terminal 60 and ground terminal 62 is larger to be realized for standby control, Or if motor 14 is respectively provided for revolver and right wheel, and presence for the common portion of the such as wire harness of these motors Point, then the standby control by make motor 14 operate one by one (for example, use opposite phase duty control) and non-concurrent operation The two motors 14 are realized.
If electric parking and braking ECU 18 determines to control that performance can be met by standby in step 110, its execution Standby controls (step 112).When standby control is performed, the electric current more than or equal to control targe electric current flows in motor 14 To generate the brake force needed for normal vehicle parking.On the other hand, if electric parking and braking ECU 18 determines to pass through standby control System can not meet performance, then its determination produces failure in system 12, and it is thus identified that abnormal (be also known as " abnormal below It is determined that ") (step 114).When confirming abnormal, the diagnostic memory for storing the information on system exception is activated, to car Driver output visual alarm and audible alarm, and treatment is performed to point out vehicle driver to take different from Operation switch The requisite measure for vehicle parking of 22 making operation.
By the treatment of above routine, if monitoring voltage Vmonitor1And Vmonitor2Between voltage difference (Vmonitor1- Vmonitor2) the voltage V more than or equal to needed forneed, then the electric current more than or equal to control targe electric current can applying by voltage Plus the flowing in motor 14 as usual.
On the other hand, if monitoring voltage Vmonitor1And Vmonitor2Between voltage difference (Vmonitor1-Vmonitor2) less than institute Need voltage Vneed, and control to ensure performance by standby, for by the electric current flowing more than or equal to control targe electric current To generate the brake force needed for normal vehicle parking, then by perform standby control and improper control, more than or equal to control The electric current of target current can flow in motor 14.
Furthermore, if monitoring voltage Vmonitor1And Vmonitor2Between voltage difference (Vmonitor1-Vmonitor2) electricity less than needed for Pressure Vneed, and standby control is it cannot be guaranteed that performance, it is determined that and broken down in system 12, and can registered on exception Diagnostic message.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the circuit electricity between power supply terminal 60 and ground terminal 62 on power line Resistance is big, and cause can not be more than or equal to the electric current of control targe electric current due to the applied voltage deficiency of normal control Flowed in motor 14 to generate the brake force needed for vehicle parking, still can control to make more than or equal to control by performing standby The electric current of target current flows to generate the brake force needed for vehicle parking in motor 14.At this point, because temperature is special Property etc. the applied voltage deficiency to motor 14 that declines under the normal control for causing of caused voltage can be different from due to part The diagnosis exception that failure causes.Therefore, even if there is the deficiency of applied voltage, control still can fully represent by performing standby Parking performance, can prevent from unnecessarily determining that diagnosis is abnormal, and can reduce the frequency of occurrences of diagnosis.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the circuitous resistance on the power line calculated between power supply terminal 60 and ground terminal 62 When, use consumption electric current I0And monitoring voltage Vmonitor1And Vmonitor2, wherein consumption electric current I0It is to be obtained under no-load condition , current value is stable after inrush current is generated under no-load condition, until the rotation driving by motor 14 Untill brake block 58 is contacted brake disc 59 (especially, untill the bottom 54 of the end thereof contacts piston 36 of power transmission shaft 34). Furthermore, the consumption electric current I under no-load condition is performed by using the branch resistance for the current detecting in lock-in control0 Detection.Therefore, according to this embodiment, it can in the case of without part or change circuit, calculate exactly in real time Circuitous resistance on power line.
At this point, based on the circuitous resistance on power line, the braking needed for for generating vehicle parking can be calculated The required voltage V between 2 points on power line needed for the rotation driving of the motor 14 of powerneed, and can determine when control Whether the voltage applied between 2 points during the driving of motor 14 on power line is more than or equal to required voltage Vneed.Therefore, Standby control can be appropriately performed, and when standby control meets performance, can fully represent parking performance.
